London, Apr 7(ANI): Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said Manchester City's failure to core in the last 15 minutes of a game, when the score is at a stalemate, which he also refers to s 'money-time', has cost them a lot this season.

Wenger praised United for having the mental strength to win crucial matches with vital late oals, citing their last win over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Monday.

"The problems for City have basically been away, because they have been outstanding at home. ut it is away from home they have lost a little bit," The Mirror quoted Ferguson, as saying.

"United surprisingly there in a comfortable position. No one expected them to be. They didn't ook an absolutely irresistible United this year and you could see that again on Monday night gainst Blackburn," he added.

"But they managed to win the game. I believe this year the title at United, if they make it is really own to experience," he said.

Wenger then went on to laud veteran United midfielder Ryan Giggs' influence on the match, as e came on the pitch with 15 minutes remaining.

"What I mean by that is that, even the other night at Blackburn when Ryan Giggs came on in the ast 15 minutes, you thought 'They can only win it, now' because they know how to deal with he money-time' - the last 15 minutes in football when it is 0-0, when it's down to not making a istake," Wenger said.

"They (United) have that security at the back. They have won so many titles because they are ot nervous," he added. (ANI)
